AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve an April 20, 2011, request from

(CAA) requirements for NOX Reasonably Available Control

National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The Missouri 
NOX RACT waiver request for its portion of the St. Louis 
metropolitan 8-hour ozone nonattainment area is based on the most 
recent three years of complete, quality-assured ozone monitoring data, 
which demonstrate that additional reductions of NOX 
emissions in the Area would not contribute to attainment of the 1997 8-
hour ozone NAAQS.

August 22, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
